Pro-Ject Debut Carbon Esprit SB

The first debut turntable triggered a revolution in the hifi industry when it appeared at the end of the 90s. For the first time after the introduction of the Compact Disc, a vinyl turntable established itself as a serious competitor in the hifi sector.

The new DEBUT CARBON DC ESPRIT SB now sets the standard in its category for the next decade. This makes it the perfect product for the increasing demand for high-quality, but affordable analog players with all speed options!

The high-quality CARBON tonearm has increased stiffness and significantly less resonance than a metal tonearm. Due to its high price, this material cannot be found anywhere else in this price segment. Together with other further developments, such as the higher diameter and mass of the turntable, the new carbon tonearm ensures significantly better sound quality! The improved belt drive uses a smooth-running AC motor with effective decoupling from the chassis and TPE damping as well as an ultra-precise AC generator (similar to Speed Box) for ultimate speed stability and vibration-free operation. Optimum operating comfort is provided by a built-in speed switch ("Speed Box"). For the playback of 78 shellac records a needle exchange and the turning over of the drive belt is sufficient!
